Australia and New Zealand Cruises

The number and variety of cruise itineraries available for Australia and New Zealand
continues to grow. A cruise to this region is a fantastic way to visit more than
one of these islands’ amazing – and different – cities, beaches
and cultural attractions.

Some cruises of Australia and New Zealand may also include other parts of the South
Pacific, such as Fiji or New Caledonia – known as “a little piece of
France in the Pacific,” east of Australia.

Highlights:

Iconic Sydney Harbour, with its Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge

Melbourne’s world-famous events – the Australian Grand Prix, Australian
Open Tennis, or the Melbourne Cup

17 National Parks of Tasmania, many of which are part of a World-Heritage Wilderness

Winter skiing, sky diving, kayaking, white water rafting and more adventure in
New Zealand

Winery tours, art galleries and other chances to experience local culture in Auckland,
New Zealand, as well as throughout Australia

Keep in mind:

Being in the southern hemisphere, the seasons in Australia and New Zealand are
opposite those of North America.

Be sure to plan an extra day or two on either side of your cruise to help adjust
for jet lag.
